Tweet near your buddy: BeThere
BeThere is one of the hacks I did for Warblecamp a few months back. It uses Twitter’s @anywhere API to connect and authenticate with Twitter.
From there it runs through your timeline looking for your friends’ geo data. When you click on a friend, it’ll show them on the map (if there’s no geo data it won’t), and you can tweet from the same location as them - the ultimate in travelling to see friends without leaving your sofa!
This demo is very experimental - in fact I find I have to refresh sometimes when it doesn’t load properly. It was hacked over about 3 hours with very little sleep - so please forgive me!
I do plan to release this a fully fledge app for those people who want to protect (and play) with their privacy on Twitter though - so watch my space!
